Pressestimmen
'Sharpe and his creator are national treasures.' Sunday Telegraph 'Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail 'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.' Observer 'The best battle scenes of any writer I've ever read, past or present. Cornwell really makes history come alive.' George R.R. Martin
Kurzbeschreibung
Richard Sharpe and the Talavera Campaign, July 1809. Richard Sharpe, bold, professional and ruthless, goes to war. Once a private, now he leads his men into action in the bloodiest battle of the war. The danger is as great from his enemies on his own side as from those across the battlefield. But through treachery and gunsmoke, through swordfight and bloody warfare, Sharpe saves his own life and the honour of the regiment. The Complete Sharpe Collection with a new introduction by the author

Format:Taschenbuch
Im chronologisch zweiten Band der Sharpe's Serie wird die Gruppe Versprengter die Sharpe aus "Sharpe's Rifles" rettete einem neuen unerfahrenen Regiment zugeteilt.
Sharpe der aus dem Mannschaftsstand befördert wurde gerät dabei schnell mit seinem neuen Colonel in Konflikt der seinen Rang nur seinem Vermögen und seinen Verbindungen verdankt.
Die Lage spitzt sich zu als es zur Schlacht von Talavera kommt und, der Colonel seine Nerven verliert.
Wie üblich in der Serie mischt Cornwell eine unterhaltsame aber herkömmliche Heldengeschichte mit sozialem Realismus über das Lagerleben und historischen Details.
Durchaus empfehlenswert. (Dies ist eine Amazon.de an der Uni-Studentenrezension.)

Format:Taschenbuch
First in the series, "Sharpe's Gold" gives the reader a vivid sense of warfare and adventure. These are good books to read if you've enjoyed Hornblower (C S Forester), Aubrey/Maturin (Patrick O'Brian), or Bolitho (Alexander Kent) novels. They are easier to read and less crowded with fact - ornithology, sailsmanship - than O'Brian's books. There is quite a bit of repetition from book to book - Sergeant Harper's amazing seven-barreled rifle is explained often enough to begin to sound preposterous. But it's probably true - the author has researched the subject thoroughly.
If you want more literary merit there's Stendahl ("The Charterhouse of Parma") or Tolstoy ("War and Peace") to cover the same territory in more depth -- and just as vividly.
Surprisingly the actor who plays Sharpe in the TV series looks a lot like John Wayne did in 1933.

This is an exciting that puts in the field with Richard Sharpe. From the scirmish where he retakes the regimental colors to the battle where he tries to capture a French Eagle to regain honor for the regiment and himself. Bernard Cornwell does an excellent job of keeping the story flowing smoothly and the action and excitement coming. I had a hard time putting it down and it wasn't long before I was reading it again. And the best part of it, you don't have to read the previous ones to know how those stories play into this one. Mr Cromwell does an excellent job of explaining all important information. His knowledge of history the soldier's mindset makes this story take on a life of it's own, as if Richard Sharpe could have really existed. A must read for anyone who like or loves history and adventure novels.

Like nothing I've ever seen before
It's like nothing I've ever seen before. An amazing blend of C.S. Forrester's Horatio Hornblower and Ian Fleming's James Bond, however so different from the two. Bravo! Encore!

Poor and disapointing
Typically for the British:
1. Lack of objectivity
2. Lack of humility
3. Eagerness to blame the foreigners
4. The nationalistic bias
5. FEEL-GOOD atmosphere

The entire Sharp series is F*U*N*. The books are set during the Napoleonic Wars. Richard Sharpe--think in terms of James Bond with a muzzle loading rifle--is a rare bird indeed. Lesen Sie weiter...
